Cash in kind of roll from S African politicians (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swiss franc

'cash' is the definition.

'kind of roll from s african politicians' is the wordplay.
'kind of roll' becomes 'swiss' (a swiss roll).
'from' becomes 'fr' (abbreviation).
's african politicians' becomes 'ANC' (African National Congress).
'swiss'+'fr'+'anc'='SWISS FRANC'

'in' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
